A contemporary model for dance artists in residence in secondary schools

摘要

This practice-based research inquiry investigated Artist in Residence projects being delivered in Australian Secondary Schools. Through an analysis of Artist in Residence programs and models of practice, dance creativity and creative processes, and two case studies from my own professional practice, I have created a contemporary model of practice for dance artists in residence in Secondary Schools and communities. It is anticipated that the findings from this research will provide insights into how best to promote rich creative experiences and sustainable arts practice within schools and their broader local communities, long after the conclusion of an arts project.
